Judy Ann Santos doesn’t believe in the theory that an actress’s popularity wanes once she gets married. “The audinces’ brain is so much matured now. If you’re a good actress, on how you manage your career, and those people surrounding you, on how you chose your project you’ll never be lost,” she explained.

Judai even cited the careers of Sharon Cuneta and Kris Aquino to prove her point. “There’s so many married actresses that is still in the industry. Maybe it was just timing,” she added. She did acknowledged the fact that an actress’s priorities may inevitably change once she decides to tie the knot. When Judai finally married actor-host Ryan Agoncillo, she temporarily stepped out of the limelight to give time to her family life. “Maybe women really need to decide to lie-low for a while. It’s a choice. It’s a decision we have to make coz we aslo need to focus on our family,” she admitted.

The actress said that having been in the business for most of her life, it would not be hard for people to understand if she decides to leave showbiz every now and then to give time to her family.

Aside from her scheduled comeback to the primetime slot next year via Habang May Buhay, Judai is excited about working with Sarah Geronimo in a movie slated for 2010. “the bagets (Sarah) is excited and I’m also excited working with her. We already talked about how we can change our image upon shooting our film coz I also want that the that lady would look different in this movie. I’m more excited that Sarah would do drama,” she revealed.
